Just had some repair work done at the local saw shop. He was telling me that the manufactures are not making bows anymore because of liability. Anyone else run into this.

I sold the last one I had to someone here on YT. If you have ever used one you will understand why pulp and firewood cutters like them. At the time I sold mine the new ones were gettin hard to find.

Do you guys know how to use Google? Took all of 20 seconds to find. Place in oregon makes them. All kinds of special blades for different saws. Also check GP from Australia. Web address is chain bar.com/products

I saw an old-timer use a bow-type bar, but this was about twenty years ago. What's the advantage of the bow? And why are they so dangerous? I know the manual on my saw specifically recommends not to use a bow bar.

They were very popular here in the Deep South with pulp wood cutters. You can cut with the top, bottom, or front of the bar. The bow uses about twice as much chain as a comparable bar so it stays sharp longer. They REALLY like to kick back though. When it does kick then it is all in yore face, neck, chest, and just don't respect human flesh. Old time pulp wood sawyers had broad shoulders, thick necks, monsterous arms, an plenty of scars. In today's suit happy legal environment companys don't want to risk it.

I read the same thing over at forestryforum dot com and/or arboristsite dot com. I think there is one company in europe that still make bow blade to be imported into us. the best i remember it was due to liability.
